In depth
Verdict
Hidden Depths won over track and trip a few days ago and is penalised 5lb while Agent Gibbs returned to action with a second over 1m5f here and can figure again. But SUFI showed signs of a resurgence when third at Salisbury last time and he gets the vote having been beaten only a neck in much better company the last time he raced over course and distance. Cotton Club’s recent placed efforts have been over longer distances at Southwell and Borak is preferred on earlier form over track and trip.
